… Steng Cross. In 1791 the body of William Winter was hung here in chains, in sight of the place where he had murdered old Margaret Crozier of the Raw Elsdon.
The present gibbet was erected on the exact site of the original. The large block of stone at the foot og the gibbet is the base of the Saxon Cross which marked the highest point of the ancient drove road, down which cattle were driven from Scotland to the English markets.
